I did take a #COBOL class in the #1980s, but I don't believe that would qualify me for anything. -

They soon returned to SoCal, because everyone in the town where they moved expected them to talk in ValSpeak (and had some other misconceptions about Californians that the person I knew did not fit).

Although I've always liked this particular song, I believe today is the first time I have actively sought to hear Duran Duran. (Their moany droney sound was not my favorite, though they were better than Air Supply.) -

I still remember the first time I heard this. Car broke down on the freeway and the tow truck driver had this song playing loudly on the radio.

I remember this sort of display from the #1980s. They were said to be better for the eyes than the green-on-black displays, but it just caused me to experience eye pain leading to fairly intense headaches. I was glad when $LOCAL_COLLEGE went back to green. -

(No, I’m not planning for or expecting a departure any time soon. I’m hoping to stick around at least until #GS3 reaches adulthood.) -

I don’t think I saw this one on MV3 or heard it on KROQ. I think my friends down the street brought it home from one of the weekly “DJ Parties” that were happening back then. -
